It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the invention can be implemented without using these specific details.

Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application provide a water level detection device 1, a refrigeration device and a control method thereof, and a storage medium, which are described in detail below.

[0040] First, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a water level detection device 1, which is used to detect the water level in a water storage box 30, and the water storage box 30 is used to receive defrost water, including:

[0041] A detection component 20, configured to be disposed on the water storage box 30; and

[0042] The rotating assembly 10 includes a floating block 110, a hinge 130 and a trigger block 120; the hinge 130 is used to be rotatably connected to the water storage box 30; the floating block 110 and the trigger block 120 are respectively fixed to the two sides of the rotation axis of the hinge 130, and the weight of the floating block 110 is greater than the weight of the trigger block 120;

[0043] The trigger block 120 is used to make the detection component 20 generate an indication signal when the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, and the indication signal is used to prompt that the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level;

[0044] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the water in the water storage box 30 will cause the floating block 110 to float up and down; when the water level rises, the floating block 110 floats upward; because the hinge 130 is rotatably connected to the water storage box 30, the trigger block 120 located on the other side of the axis of the hinge 130 will move downward. When the water level drops, the floating block moves downward because its weight is greater than the trigger floating block 110; because the hinge 130 is rotatably connected to the water storage box 30, the trigger block 120 located on the other side of the axis of the hinge 130 will move upward; when the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, the trigger block 120 causes the detection component 20 to generate an indication signal, and the indication signal is used to prompt that the water level in the water storage box 30 has reached the preset water level. Therefore, the floating block 110 is driven by the buoyancy of water and gravity to cause the trigger block 120 to move, thereby changing the position of the trigger block 120, and further changing the force between the trigger block 120 and the detection component 20. Then, the detection component 20 generates an indication signal according to the change in the force. The generated indication signal or the second signal is used to indicate that the water level of the water storage box 30 has reached the preset water level.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the water in the water storage box 30 will make the floating block 110 float up and down; when the water level rises, the floating block 110 floats upward; because the hinge 130 is rotatably connected to the water storage box 30, the trigger block 120 located on the other side of the axis of the hinge 130 will move downward. When the water level drops, the floating block moves downward because its weight is greater than the trigger floating block 110; because the hinge 130 is rotatably connected to the water storage box 30, the trigger block 120 located on the other side of the axis of the hinge 130 will move upward. In some embodiments, when the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, the trigger block 120 provides a first force to the detection assembly 20, so that the detection assembly 20 obtains an indication signal based on the first force, and the indication signal is used to indicate that the water level in the water storage box 30 has reached a preset water level; or when the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, the trigger block 120 cancels the second force provided to the detection assembly 20, so that the detection assembly 20 obtains a second signal when the second force disappears, and the second signal is used to indicate that the water level in the water storage box 30 has reached a preset water level. Thus, the floating block 110 is driven to move under the action of water buoyancy and gravity, so that the position of the trigger block 120 changes, and the force between the trigger block 120 and the detection assembly 20 changes, and the detection assembly 20 generates an indication signal or a second signal according to the change of the force, and the generated indication signal or second signal is used to indicate that the water level in the water storage box 30 has reached a preset water level.

[0046] For example, in some embodiments, after the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, the trigger block 120 provides a first force to the detection component 20. For example, the detection component 20 may be a pressure sensor; the detection component 20 contacts the trigger block 120 and generates pressure; at this time, the detection component 20 generates an indication signal based on the pressure; for another example, the detection component 20 may be a magnetic field sensor, which may convert the magnitude of the magnetic force between the detection component 20 and the trigger block 120 into an indication signal, and after the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, a magnetic force is generated between the trigger block 120 and the detection component 20; at this time, the detection component 20 generates an indication signal based on the magnetic force.

[0047] For example, in some embodiments, after the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height, the trigger block 120 cancels the second force provided to the detection component 20. For example, before the floating block 110 floats upward to the preset height, the detection component 20 contacts the trigger block 120 and generates pressure; at this time, after the floating block 110 floats upward to the preset height, the trigger block 120 and the detection component 20 are disconnected, and the pressure is canceled, and the detection component 20 generates an indication signal when the pressure is canceled; for another example, at least one of the detection component 20 and the trigger block 120 forms a magnetic field, and before the floating block 110 floats to the preset height, a magnetic force is generated between the trigger block 120 and the detection component 20; after the floating block 110 floats to the preset height, the magnetic force generated between the trigger block 120 and the detection component 20 disappears, and the detection component 20 generates an indication signal after the magnetic force disappears.

[0048] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the detection component 20 includes a reed switch; Figure 1 As shown, the trigger block 120 includes a magnetic member 121. The magnetic member 121 is used to attract the reed switch to generate a first force when the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height; or the magnetic member 121 is used to make the reeds of the reed switch repel each other when the floating block 110 floats upward to a preset height to generate the indication signal. In the embodiment, during the process of the water level gradually rising, the trigger block 120 gradually approaches the reed switch or gradually moves away from the reed switch. In some embodiments, during the process of the trigger block 120 gradually approaching the reed switch, when the magnetic member 121 is close enough to the reed switch or the two are in contact, the two reeds of the reed switch are attracted together under the magnetic field of the magnetic member 121, the reed switch is turned on, and an indication signal is generated. In some embodiments, during the process of the trigger block 120 gradually moving away from the reed switch, when the magnetic member 121 gradually moves away from the reed switch, the two reeds of the reed switch gradually separate under the magnetic field of the magnetic member 121, the reed switch is disconnected, and an indication signal is generated.

[0049] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the volume of the floating block 110 is greater than the volume of the trigger block 120. In the embodiment, the volume of the floating block is greater than the volume of the trigger block 120, so that the floating block 110 has sufficient buoyancy to overcome the gravity after the water level rises, thereby causing the trigger block 120 to rotate so that the trigger block 120 and the detection component 20 are relatively displaced, thereby causing the detection component 20 to generate an indication signal or causing the indication signal to disappear.

[0050] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the detection component 20 is configured to detect whether the indication signal is obtained every first preset time period; if the detection component 20 detects the indication signal, it detects whether the indication signal is generated every second preset time period; the second preset time period is less than the first preset time period. In the embodiment, before the indication signal is detected for the first time, the water in the water storage box 30 has not reached the preset water level. At this time, it is detected every first preset time period whether the indication signal is obtained; and after the indication signal is detected, the water in the water storage box 30 has basically reached the preset water level. At this time, the detection cycle of the indication signal is shortened, the detection frequency is increased, and it is timely determined whether the water in the water storage box 30 has completely reached the preset water level.

[0051] It should be noted that when the water drops from the evaporator after defrosting falls into the water storage box 30, a certain impact will be generated, causing the water in the water storage box 30 to vibrate; when the water in the water storage box 30 basically (close to) reaching the preset water level, during the detection process, the vibration may cause the detection component 20 to generate an indication signal. Therefore, in the embodiment, the detection cycle of the indication signal is shortened and the detection frequency is increased. By continuously detecting whether the indication signal is obtained, it can be accurately determined whether the water in the water storage box 30 has completely reached the preset water level, thereby reducing the error caused by water drops in the detection.

[0052] For example, the first preset time length is 30 minutes, and the second preset time length is 1 minute. For another example, the first preset time length is 45 minutes, and the second preset time length is 5 minutes.

[0053] Secondly, based on the water level detection device 1 proposed in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present application also proposes a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device can be a refrigerator, a freezer, etc. The refrigerator can be a single-system refrigerator or a dual-system refrigerator. The refrigeration device includes a water storage box 30 and the water level detection device 1 proposed in the above embodiment.

[0054] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water storage box 30 is provided with a shielding plate 31, and the shielding plate 31 is arranged above the floating block 110. In the embodiment, the shielding plate 31 can prevent water from directly dripping onto the floating block 110, thereby preventing water from directly acting on the floating block 110, thereby preventing the trigger block 120 from being displaced relative to the detection component 20 due to water dripping, thereby preventing the detection component 20 from generating an erroneous indication signal due to water dripping, and improving the accuracy of detection.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a guide groove 311 is formed on the shielding plate 31, and the guide groove 311 is used to guide water to flow to a side away from the floating block 110. For example, the high point of the guide groove 311 is located above the floating block 110, and the low point is set away from the floating block 110. In some embodiments, the guide groove 311 is a V-shaped groove.

[0056] In an embodiment, the shielding plate 31 can be threadedly connected to the water storage box 30, or can be snap-connected to the water storage box 30.

[0057] Based on the refrigeration device proposed in the above embodiment, the present application embodiment also proposes a control method for the refrigeration device; Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes:

[0058] S100, detecting whether the indication signal is obtained;

[0059] S120, if the indication signal is obtained, it is determined that the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level, and the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage box 30.

[0060] In an embodiment, when the indication signal is detected, the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level. At this time, the heating module can be controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 to prevent the water in the water storage box 30 from overflowing; or the water in the water storage box 30 can be discharged through the discharge module to prevent the water in the water storage box 30 from overflowing.

[0061] In an embodiment, the heating module may be a heating wire, a heating sheet, etc., arranged on the water storage box 30. In other embodiments, the heating module may also be a refrigerant branch drawn from the outlet of the compressor, the refrigerant branch performs radiation heating on the water storage box 30, or the refrigerant branch is arranged on the water storage box 30. The valve on the refrigerant branch is opened when heating is required, so that the high-pressure and high-temperature refrigerant compressed by the compressor heats the water storage box 30, so that the water in the water storage box 30 is heated and evaporated.

[0062] In an embodiment, the water storage box 30 can be connected to a drain pipe; a drain pump and / or a drain valve are provided on the drain pipe. After the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level, the drain pump and / or the drain valve are opened to drain water to prevent the water in the water storage box 30 from overflowing.

[0063] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, if the indication signal is obtained, it is determined that the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level, and the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage box 30, including:

[0064] S121, after the detection component 20 obtains the indication signal, obtaining a first number of consecutive times of obtaining the indication signal;

[0065] S122 , if the first number reaches a first preset number, controlling the heating module to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the draining module to drain the water in the water storage box 30 .

[0066] In the embodiment, after the indication signal is detected, the indication signal may be caused by the vibration of water drops when the water level approaches the preset water level. Therefore, after the indication signal is detected, the first number of times the indication signal is obtained continuously is obtained; if the first number of consecutive times reaches the first preset number, it means that the probability that the indication signal is caused by the vibration of water drops is low, but the water level has reached the preset water level value, and at this time, the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage box 30, so as to improve the accuracy of detection.

[0067] For example, in some embodiments, the preset water level (preset height) is 10 cm; when the water level is 9.9 cm, when water drops into the water storage box 30, the vibration caused by the water drops may cause the detection component 20 to detect the indication signal. In the next detection, since the water level has not reached 10 cm, the indication signal may not be detected, and the indication signal is discontinuous. When the water level reaches 10 cm, the detection component 20 continuously obtains the indication signal, so during the detection, the indication signal is continuous. When the first number accumulates to the first preset number of times, the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage box 30.

[0068] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the control heating module heats the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module discharges the water in the water storage box 30, such as Figure 7 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0069] S130 , after the indication signal is not obtained, the heating module is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to stop discharging the water in the water storage box 30 .

[0070] That is, in an embodiment, when no indication signal is detected during the process of reducing the water in the water storage box 30, the water in the water storage box 30 is lower than the water level, the heating module can be controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module can be controlled to stop discharging the water in the water storage box 30.

[0071] In some embodiments, when no indication signal is detected during the process of reducing the water in the water storage box 30, in order to minimize the water in the water storage box 30, the heating module can be controlled to run for a third preset time to stop heating the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module can be controlled to run for a fourth preset time to stop discharging the water in the water storage box 30.

[0072] In some embodiments, after the indication signal is not obtained for the first time, obtaining a second number of times the indication signal is not obtained continuously;

[0073] If the second number reaches a second preset number, the heating module is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the drain module is controlled to stop draining the water in the water storage box 30 .

[0074] In this embodiment, after the indication signal is not obtained for the first time, the second number of consecutive times the indication signal is not obtained is obtained; if the second number reaches the second preset number, the water in the water storage box 30 is completely lower than the preset water level, and at this time, the heating module is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module stops discharging the water in the water storage box 30.

[0075] In order to better implement the control method of the refrigeration equipment in the embodiment of the present application, based on the control method of the refrigeration equipment, a control device of the refrigeration equipment is also provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the control device of the refrigeration equipment includes:

[0076] A detection module, detecting whether the indication signal is obtained;

[0077] The judging module judges that the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level if the indication signal is obtained;

[0078] The control module is used to control the heating module to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module to discharge the water in the water storage box 30 when determining that the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level.

[0079] If the indication signal is obtained, it is determined that the water level in the water storage box 30 reaches a preset water level, and the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage box 30, including:

[0080] If the detection component 20 obtains the indication signal, obtaining a first number of times the indication signal is obtained continuously;

[0081] If the first number reaches a first preset number, the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the drain module is controlled to drain the water in the water storage box 30 .

[0082] After the heating module is controlled to heat the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module discharges the water in the water storage box 30, the control method further includes:

[0083] After the indication signal is not obtained, the heating module is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage box 30 and / or the discharge module is controlled to stop discharging the water in the water storage box 30 .
